The Urban Harvest Series (UHS) is a set artifacts and furniture that integrate nature’s closed cycles and cultivation into our own daily routines. Created by Design Academy of Eindhoven’s Sebastiaan Sennema, [4] the unit allows people to grow [5], store, prepare, and compost organic waste, actively engaging them in a holistic and fundamental practice.
UHS consists of an oak table (with adjustable leg height) and a terracotta base with compartments for potting and storing harvested food without the use of electricity. Nestled under the table is a triple-layer, colorful compost bin designed to address all the different stages of decomposition.
The design can be combined with Sennema’ [5]s other graduation project recently featured here [5].
